"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Sir Keir Starmer has failed to prove to working people in the UK that he is one of them and risks opening the door for Nigel Farage to seize power, the leader of Labour's biggest backer has warned. Speaking ahead of the annual meeting of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Brighton next week, TUC general secretary Paul Nowak told The Independent that for too many people, change' feels too much like a slogan and they don't feel it in their pockets."
"Nowak and his fellow trade unionists are championing a permanent hike in the banking surcharge to as much as 35 per cent; an annual wealth tax of 2 per cent on people with assets worth 10m or more; a gambling tax of 50 per cent on online casinos; and equalising capital gains tax to the level of taxation on wages to 36 per cent."
The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping reporting free of paywalls. The publication emphasizes sending reporters to parse facts from messaging during a critical moment in US history. In the UK, TUC general secretary Paul Nowak warns that Sir Keir Starmer has failed to convince many working people that he represents them, increasing the risk of support for Nigel Farage. The TUC plans to push tax measures including a possible 35% banking surcharge, a 2% annual wealth tax on assets over £10m, a 50% online gambling tax and equalising capital gains tax to 36%.
